Objective

Duration: 10 to 15 minutes

In this section of the lesson plan, we aim to help students appreciate the significance and practical use of amide nomenclature. By honing their practical and experimental skills, students will be better equipped for real-world scenarios, whether in academia or in their future careers, where accuracy in the nomenclature of organic compounds is vital.

Objective Utama:

1. Identify and apply IUPAC nomenclature for amides.

2. Distinguish the nomenclature of amides from other organic compounds.

Objective Sampingan:

  1. Build practical skills in identifying and naming amides.
  2. Apply knowledge in real-world and job-related contexts.

Introduction

Duration: 10 to 15 minutes

The intent of this stage is to help students grasp the importance and practical application of amide nomenclature. By developing hands-on and experimental skills, students will be better prepared for their future academic and professional endeavors, where accurate nomenclature is crucial.

Curiosities and Market Connection

Amides are foundational in the pharmaceutical field, being crucial ingredients in medications like acetaminophen. They are also integral in creating high-strength polymers like nylon, which is common in apparel and industrial applications. Gaining a solid grasp of amide nomenclature empowers professionals in chemistry and engineering to innovate new materials and medications more effectively.

Contextualization

Amides are organic compounds that show up in a variety of disciplines, from pharmaceuticals to synthetic materials production. Understanding amide nomenclature goes beyond theoretical knowledge; it's an essential hands-on skill that has practical applications in chemistry labs, the pharmaceutical sector, and even scientific research. Accurate nomenclature ensures the correct identification and utility of these compounds.

Initial Activity

Kick off the lesson by showing a short video (2-3 minutes) that highlights the use of amides in making medications and industrial materials. Afterward, engage the students with this thought-provoking question: 'In what ways could precise nomenclature of organic compounds influence the creation of new medications?'

Development

Duration: 55 to 65 minutes

This stage aims to further students' familiarity with amide nomenclature through engaging exercises and thoughtful reflection. By crafting molecular models, students will acquire a hands-on understanding of amide structures and naming rules while developing teamwork and communication skills.

Topics

1. Definition and properties of amides

2. Molecular structure and characteristics of amides

3. IUPAC nomenclature principles for amides

4. How amides differ from other organic compounds

Thoughts on the Subject

Encourage a discussion about why precision in amide nomenclature matters for developing new materials and medications. Prompt students to consider how a solid understanding of nomenclature could affect research in scientific and industrial contexts, citing examples from the pharmaceutical and synthetic material sectors.

Mini Challenge

Building Molecular Models of Amides

Students will create molecular models of various amides using model kits or everyday recyclable materials. This hands-on experience will deepen their understanding of the structure and nomenclature of these compounds.

1. Split the class into groups of 3-4 students.

2. Hand out molecular model kits or recyclable materials (such as toothpicks and modelling clay) to each group.

3. Provide a list of amides (e.g., methanamide, ethanamide, propanamide) for each group to select from.

4. Guide the groups to build the molecular model of their chosen amide while adhering to IUPAC nomenclature guidelines.

5. Instruct each group to note down the structural formula and IUPAC name of their model, explaining their naming choice.

6. After constructing their models, each group will present to the class, focusing on the nomenclature and structure of their amide.

Cultivate practical skills in constructing molecular models and reinforce understanding of the IUPAC nomenclature rules for amides.

**Duration: 30 to 35 minutes

Evaluation Exercises

1. List three amides and provide their correct IUPAC names.

2. Contrast the nomenclature of amides with that of other organic functional groups, like carboxylic acids and amines, including examples.

3. Illustrate, using examples, how IUPAC nomenclature helps to avoid confusion in scientific communication.

Conclusion

Duration: 10 to 15 minutes

The goal of this concluding section is to solidify the knowledge gained, linking theory with practice, and encouraging students to reflect on the real-world applications of the topic. This wrap-up aims to ensure that students recognize the relevance of amide nomenclature for their academic pursuits and future careers.

Discussion

Guide a reflective dialogue among students on how precise amide nomenclature influences the development of new materials and medications. Encourage them to share how the practical activity enhanced their understanding of IUPAC rules, and ask them to cite real-world applications in fields like pharmaceuticals and synthetic materials.

Summary

Summarize the key points covered, including the definition, molecular structure of amides, IUPAC nomenclature rules, and distinctions between amides and other organic compounds. Highlight the significance of precise nomenclature in scientific communication and product development.

Closing

Emphasize that mastering amide nomenclature is essential not just for academic success but also for professional practice in industries such as industrial chemistry and scientific research. Stress that the knowledge acquired today can be a valuable asset in the job market, particularly in the formulation of innovative medications and materials.
